Bernie Volz was the chief architect of TCPware and co-founder of Process 
Software. He wanted a stack that ran as efficiently as possible on 
VAXen, and the kernel was written from scratch in MACRO-32. The TCPware 
kernel was faster than MultiNet's kernel when we received it from TGV. 
We've made numerous speed enhancements to the MultiNet kernel since 
then, and I don't know if anyone has really done speed tests in quite a 
few years.
